Is it safe for bottling beer since its a Flip Top, not screw top?

It's airtight and very secure. I'd be just as confident in this as I would a twist on.

The rubber gasket forms an airtight seal, so it's as safe as capping a bottle with a metal cap.

i would not use it to bottle beer. i don't feel the seal on the top is permanent enough for the storage of beer over any period of time. mw

Top is good for a handle if you don't have glasses hanging from the top. The lower half, I use for both wine and liquor. Right now, we hold Absolute bottles and it just fits a Grey Goose Bottle length wise. It's pretty flexible with most bottles.I do have glasses hanging, and I put things on the flat shelving as extra storage. It's awesome and works great!

Our bottles are screw top so I don't know about snap top but the screw top insert will come out for use on snap top bottles.There is a flapper in the cap that when the bottle is inverted the weight of the water against it keeps the water from gushing out. However it does drip slightly so I wait to invert it at the cooler just before I install it.

No good, top has a curve in it from front to back, and grooves to drain the water. You might be able to stand a beer right in the middle, but I would be very careful. Hope this helps.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

Because of how the capper holds the bottle when capping, some bottles will not work. The "standard" bottles work well because the arms grab right under the protrusion under the crown and the capper is guided down to crimp the cap around the sides. Summit beer bottles will sometimes work with this capper, but you have to line up the arms first and gently adjust the actual capping portion into place. Bottles with wider necks (think stella) will be crushed at the neck before your cap is secured (yes I have done this) because this capper will allow enough force to crush the bottle if you press down hard.

I wouldn't. It may turn with "just a touch", if your touch is heavy. But it doesn't glide, and if you find yourself forcing it, the bottles may tip.

I don't know about beer. I make homemade Kombucha these bottles are wonderful holds the fizz for days. I never clean them in the dishwasher

I truly don't know. We don't drink beer so I don't have any bottles to test it out on. It doesn't stay on the standard wine bottle very well. I don't even try to use it anymore.

I believe you can chill beer bottles but I think the ridges on the plastic bottles might hinder it from being turned. It will still chill but not as fast as a bottle that an spin.

No the cap is not a flip-top, and it will leak if the mug tips over. The top has a hole in it for drinking, but in that area the lip of the cap is taller to help keep the liquid from easily spilling if it is slightly tilted. If you need something spill proof then it's not your mug, but it is a awesome mug if you need one. I hope this helps.

Did you drop it or anything of the sort? It is a wide mouth open bottle top so there should be no issues drinking out of the top.

No it won't break, but I would try to cool down your wort as quickly as possible before transferring to the fermenter. BullDog Brewhouse.

Yea I wondered the same thing when I ordered it. Good news, I was able to skate and have a beer break at the same time. The bottle opener part is awesome and sturdy, no chance of breaking off or anything.

Yes they do. But they are expensive. If you are not worried about the bottles being tampered with you can reuse the caps. I even use pop bottle caps and have not had one fail yet. The Mr. Beer caps will work just fine, but this is another way to save money. That was one of the reasons I started making my own beer. That, and the beer is superior to store bought beer.

No it's a weldless fitting, it works well thou. I I've brewed a dozen batches of beer with no problem

My husband says yes; it's a growler with a screw top that looks like a keg. No attachments needed.
